Isn't it possible to just use HTTP authentication with RSS/Atom feeds? Or is this a problem for some reason?

Sorry, that's a rude start, but this conversation seems doomed to go round in circles every few months - until someone implements a decent solution, I guess. See, for example, http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2004-December/026562.html
- where Brion points out that even if most RSS readers can use HTTP
authentication, MediaWiki can't, so it's not really all that helpful.
Well that could be fixed.
